>What is the nature of the program which you are writing?
I have to wonder sometimes if you write just to hear yourself speak.
does it really matter what the program is?
Anyway, here's how I'd do it. I'm not the best with regex, so...
[a-zA-Z0-9_-]@ then I'd make it match one or more \.[a-xZA-Z0-9-_)s. I'm
not really sure how to do the one or more though, I think you can use .?
or something similar. Hope that helps a bit.

Hello.
I'm probably opening up a can of worms here, since I understand that
Email addresses are the most argued over when it comes to regular
expressions. I'm just wondering if someone could provide me with a few
samples, or point me in the right direction where I can find
information on this?
Currently I'm leaning towards JavaScript, to pass to the match()
method of the String object an argument to attempt to validate the
syntax of a mail address.
Hope this is making sense.
Mark
